On Wednesday's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer absurdly wondered if Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) pausing his State of the Union response for a drink of water would "break" his career. The CNN chyron flashed "Career-ender?"

"So can a drink of water make or break a political career?" Blitzer asked. "A U.S. Senator, possible presidential candidate. We're going to find out, whether he likes it or not."

However, despite CNN claiming the headline was a joke, host Wolf Blitzer kept his serious demeanor for the beginning of the next segment when he noted the "social media frenzy" over Rubio's "awkward pause." The headline was certainly a tease though, as correspondent Kate Bolduan focused her report on Rubio's Florida background.

I haven’t watched CNN for many years. There is stupid and stupid and so stupid it’s hard to believe a person is standing. CNN has moved into that territory. They think taking a drink of water can drown a political career, and they think that global warming can influence the path of an asteroid. Why would anyone watch this channel?

“media” - a whole new low for low information voters”
The cast on these shows (I refuse to call them news or casters since they clearly have no skill set for the title) aren’t even qualified to flip burgers at McDonalds! Journalism in college is a joke.

You know, they hate liberal lukewarm RINOs more than the hate anyone. The GOP is a crowd of doofuses and this was a dooofus moment.

They have no footing - including Rubio and definitely including Rubio.

If the GOP hasn’t figured out tha twith their RINOs they can’t get over a moment like this then why are they in charge of the only opposition?

It’s their fault all of this is happening.

Rubio stands for nothing conservative yet he’s the favorite? Who is he? He has no debate skills. He can talk talk talk, so what?

He taped the SOTU response just before going on. Why did he so it twice, wearing himself out to the point he couldn’t even be properly prepared? What was more important than being prepared for the SOTU rebuttal?

That he tape it in SPANISH first.

He is a first class panderer and he is our favorite. Favorite what? Replacement for McCain?

“Im sure Marco drinks water like the rest of the human race.... And Im pretty sure that he poops too...”

LOL! Exactly what I was thinking. And the more the chattering classes are on his case for taking a sip of water during an important situation with hot t.v. lights on him, I think that most Americans will be on his side.
